I love this stamp...

I bought this stamp at Michaels and I just love it! So I thought I would make a card to add to my cards I am making for my boys' teachers. It's a great 'just because card'. Anyway, paper is from We R Memory Keepers, ribbon is from Michaels and the flowers are primas. I stitched around the edge and did quite a bit of distressing with ink and sandpaper. The scallopped heart was cut using my cricut, but instead of using the heart I cut out, I used the remaining paper that it was cut from.

Deja Moo!

I made this card for my friend, Dawn who is totally stressed out at work right now... and she loves cows. LOVES cows. In fact, on friday she asked me if my cricut could cut a cow, so over the weekend I made her this card. The inside says "The feeling that you've heard this Bull before!"

A Card for Abby

Today is a big day for my 8 year old Niece. She is in Children's Dance Theatre and today is her first performance as a member of CDT. So, I made this card for her. The paper is from Making Memories, and the cardstock base is Bazzill. The photo corner and frame corner were cut with my Cricut. The flower is a Prima, and then I embellished it with some ribbon and a button. The gem on the photo corner (which is actually purple) is a brad from Making Memories. Everything is distressed with 'Vintage Photo' ink and sanded. I stitched with brown thread (and for some reason my sewing machine is not my friend today... I will have to fix it later). The sentiment is from a stamp I picked up this morning.

I dropped this card off to her with a nice flower arrangement, and she was very excited!

Card Exchange

I signed up for a card exchange. I have to make 10 cards, mail them in and I will get back one of each person's home made card. I am really excited for this, and think it will be fun. (I know, I need therapy... well MORE therapy...) Anyway, this is the card I am making. I hope everyone likes it. I used paper from Making Memories and the brad in the center of the flower is also from Making Memories. (YAY for the BIG sale!). The flower is from a flower bunch I bought at Michaels and dissected. I distressed everything with 'Old Paper' ink, and stamped the sentiment from an old D.O.T.S. stamp. The ribbon I think came from Michaels. And of course, I stitched on it, since that is my latest craze.

Just Because

My Mother in Law went out of town the beginning of January, and as of today still has not returned. (Good for her! If I could run away for the worst part of winter I think I would too!) Anyway, I was thinking about her a lot last month and so I made this card for her. The 'B' and the little photo holder are both cut with the Cricut, and the tag I made with my Making Memories tag maker. I did quite a bit of distressing and a little stitching to give it some texture and added ribbon. The flower eyelet is also from Making Memories as is the paper.
